Liar

Stop making sense, will you!?!

I was under the impression that science, in the English language as well, was all about the scientific process, but my first language is Spanish, so I'm compromised.

I see the difference in the schools of thought about hard vs. soft sciences and the term science applied to fields that use the scientific process akin to that between people who believe objectivity is attainable and those who don't.

Attainable, and reproducible. How strange! I keep doing the same research over and over again. I modify some variables just to see what will happen. I get the same results: I am fucked up. That is my proven theory.

I have reached similar conclusions about myself, but try to embrace them as part of being a work in progress.

Love those fishlips, Janey

For what it's worth, I do not think the perjorative-ization of the term 'subjective' has been all for the good. It's been a tool for making second-class (and separate) endeavors out of the arts and critical fields. I believe in the cultural value of abstract thought. If I wanted, I could probably make a pretty good case that a culture simply is the product of its collective abstract thought, and that the concrete endeavors serve a tiny role/function within it.

We've flipped that upside down, though. The provable/quantifiable is valued over the "mere" subjective endeavors (that word "mere" is now in fact implied by the word 'subjective'). I think of it as a form of slow cultural suicide.

Oh, I completely agree. The distinction between objective and subjective is a subjective, cultural construct.

And it's sad that this isn't more widely recognized.

Qualitative studies, have their place, and are valuable.
